Tajima TFMX Series Industrial Embroidery Machine Factory Calibration & Tension Manual

Precision tension settings, bobbin gram weights, and needle configurations for high-speed embroidery.

125 - 135g (Checked via Barudan/Tajima spring balance gauge)

Standard baseline for 40wt polyester thread. Lower slightly for metallic threads.

Bobbin Case Tension

25 - 30g Towa rotary gauge

Aim for 1/3 bobbin white thread visible down the center of satin column test underside.

Recommended Needles

DBxK5 Grade Organ Titanium (75/11 or 80/12)

Replace needle every 8 hours of active stitching or after each major thread break.

Thread Delivery Tip

Ensure thread passes through middle hole of rotary wheel thread sensor to prevent false stop codes.

Hardware USB Transfer Guide: How to Load .dst onto Your Machine

Crucial drive formatting and folder placement steps for Tajima machines.

1Format Drive as FAT32

Embroidery machines cannot recognize modern exFAT or NTFS filesystems. Use a standard USB 2.0 drive (8GB–16GB recommended) and format it as FAT32 with Master Boot Record (MBR).

Tip: Drives larger than 32GB often fail to mount on older Brother and Janome models.
2Folder Directory Structure

Place the converted file in the root directory or standard pattern folder of your USB stick.

Target: Root directory
3Safe Eject & Machine Insert

Always safely unmount or eject the USB stick from your operating system before unplugging. Premature disconnection corrupts embroidery jump tables.

Turn machine on and insert USB only when prompted on the LCD display.
